    Always Charlie , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 612min
    A Bermuda love triangle has just formed on the gulf coast.  Charlotte “Charlie” Turner, artist and gallery owner, should know by now that ghosts of the oddest sorts always show up in her paintings - and in her quirky southern coastal town. Now, Harrison McMillan, the most spirited encounter of her life, has returned to haunt her. Twenty-five years earlier, he married another woman, and now darned if he doesn’t plan on doing the same thing again.    Harry’s memories are filled with romantic French evenings, the sea, and always...Charlie. In the aftermath of a devastating oil spill, the death of a crazy friend’s brother, and a series of purloined pelicans, life has become a teensie bit complicated for Harry.  Two things are certain: He has some confusion to clear up and more than a few mistakes to unmake - if he wants a ghost of a chance at love. ungekürzt.

    Edgar Allan Poe: The Fever Called Living , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 226min
    A view into the tumultuous and creative life of Edgar Allan Poe. Today the name Edgar Allan Poe invokes a tragic genius whose mastery of horror seems inexorably tied to his tormented life. But in his own time, Poe was above all a craftsman-an editor and reviewer desperately trying to earn a living by transmuting the wild ephemera of early Victorianism into innovations in science fiction, horror, and detective literature. Indeed, the crime thriller would not exist without Poe's sleuth Dupin, the deductive genius of "Murders in the Rue Morgue" and "The Purloined Letter." With brilliant scholarship and storytelling verve, Paul Collins delves into Poe's life and his professional world, from his stormy relationship with his rich adoptive father and interest in cryptograms to hits such as "The Raven" and flops like Eureka, his late-career crank literature outing. Edgar Allan Poe is an informative and supremely entertaining account of one of the most singular talents in American letters. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Grover Gardner.

    The Secret Life of Anna Blanc , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 765min
    It's 1907 Los Angeles. Mischievous socialite Anna Blanc is the kind of young woman who devours purloined crime novels, but must disguise them behind covers of more domestically-appropriate reading. She could match wits with Sherlock Holmes, but in her world women are not allowed to hunt criminals. Determined to break free of the era's rigid social roles, Anna buys off the chaperone assigned by her domineering father and, using an alias, takes a job as a police matron with the Los Angeles Police Department. There she discovers a string of brothel murders, which the cops are unwilling to investigate. Seizing her one chance to solve a crime, she takes on the investigation herself. If the police find out, she'll get fired; if her father finds out, he'll disown her; and if her fiancé finds out, he'll cancel the wedding. Midway into her investigation, the police chief's son, Joe Singer, learns her true identity, and shortly thereafter she learns about blackmail. Anna must choose - either hunt the villain and risk losing her father, fiancé, and wealth, or abandon her dream and leave the killer on the loose. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Moira Quirk.
